It seems according to IDC that Unix is dying and being replaced by Linux and Windows. Take that as you will but it seems Linux has or is gaining the marketshare and so naturally most books will be targeted at it.

"Fear not, newbie! In this Point and click Gnu/XFree/KDE/Linux book we are going to describe the K3B CD/DVD burning, ISO creator and what else application that not only works in our Gnu/XFree/KDE/Linux system but on many other unix-like systems (*bsd, solaris, etc)."

>Does K3B really depend on Linux?
>And since when does a KDE program run on the kernel?

actually k3b does use the but not directly kernel a lot. k3b uses cdrtools and cdrdao which are apps closely connected to the kernel (scsi and stuff), although it's a frontend for them. So yes K3b is definetly a Linux app :)

>Point & Click Linux!'? I only see Linux during boot-up. I've never been able to click the kernel

Hmm, I thought that it actually did :) (not directly, but all software runs on the kernel in one way or the other. No kernel, no KDE, that's for sure :o) I'ts true that kde can run on multiple kernels, not only on the Linux-kernel, but apparently the autors of the book wanted to stick to a Linux-powered operating system in this book
Wich is a good idea, becaur every operating system, kernel, whatever has its own features etc..

> 'Point & Click Linux!'? I only see Linux during boot-up.
nope, that is init.

> I've never been able to click the kernel.
Well you can, go to /boot and click on vmlinuz or similar file.

Go away, troll. In case you hadn't noticed, anyone can contribute to KDE Dot News. Furthermore, your rant has nothing whatsoever to do with Eugenia's contribution. Thread closed, and please don't start another one or it will be deleted and you'll be banned.

To recover the data in the "deleted" first session, you will have to mount the DVD using a special option, available in Linux kernels since 2.3.4. Use the "session=1" option. You will probably have to be root, and you may have to unmount the DVD first using "umount".

I cannot be sure exactly what type of filesystem you have written on the DVD (udf, iso9660) so I cannot help you more.

Umm ... the point was we don't need to emulate SCSI anymore. You can just do cdrecord dev=/dev/dvd etc. You don't need ide-scsi in your lilo.conf no more.

The rest of your post is wrong BTW.

You'll need to peruse the cartoon network at http://adultswim.com and perhaps saunter on over to http://myspleen.net and aquire Aqua Teen Hunger Force cartoons to have any hope of understanding my sig.

Most of what you're using is the design developed by my tutors, my employers, my colleagues, our team, and myself. If I say a USB Buss is ancient history, it's ancient history; if I say it's slow, it's slow; if I say it's the cause of the "small timing error" that Microsoft refers to in its Blue Screen of Death crashes, it's various bugchecks, and Intel's various PCI, DMA, and other buss indirect addressing and alleged vector indirect addressing resulting in the wrong index being indexed, then it is all of the above.

If I say that full 64-bit architecture requires a full 64-bit Interrupt Request Line Buss, then it does. And if I say Plug and Play and USB are just cheap ways that a company can cheat on quality to customers, they that is also true, as well as it being true that you can't run everything from single pair of twisted wires called a USB, and even remotely compare these to parallel processing.

It is a simple physical fact, governed by the laws of physics, that 64 wires can carry 64 times the throughput of one wire.

If you disagree with that, that's okay, but don't tell me that I and the laws of physics are wrong.

btw, I'm not the one out to crushthe.us nor send evilwebmail.com

It's easy to say someone is wrong; now try proving it with Maxwell's Equations.

While you're pondering that, perhaps you want to look at the cdrecord source code and see if it is still emulating SCSI.

A.) America haters
B.) Copyright Infringers
C.) teenagers with no formal education
D.) ill bred, ungroomed, and obnoxious ignorants whose main goal in life is to support their tiny self-confidence and superiority complexed egos by calling others names, thus raising their stature to "legend in their own minds."

keep on buying what you buy, unless of course, you don't buy it but "burn" it.

Do not threaten the U.S. or it's people, this is very unwise as you may wind up being the one crushed.

If you can't play nice, leave the playground.

And take a really long look in the mirror when you get up in the morning and ask yourself "Who is the moron?"

Stand there for at least 15 minutes, staring blankly, to see if you can see who it is.

I think you need an opthamologist and a neurologist; a psychiatrist wouldn't hurt you either.

If you really knew computers and the industry, you'd know that such propoganda, like that of Torres, is paid for advertising for those companies that make very cheap quality goods that do not last long and do not work.

Obviously, I have fallen into a group of children and amateurs who know nothing at all about computers or physics.

If you really believe that serial is faster than parallel, you should apply for a lifetime career at the nearest point and click McDonalds.

You've cited a source akin to Herodius, "The father of all lies."

What was it you said about reading up? Ah yes, you said "Please do a little reading up on why the industry is moving away from parallel transfers: . . ." Actually, I don't have to because I am writing up the books on the real reasons that the cheap manufacturers are moving away from parallel, because they are not educated in engineering, they are mostly business school graduates and children of rich computer industry innovators who haven't got a clue nor care about a quality product, only money, and because there are people out there stupid enough to believe that they are not being taken with things like USB and other pure fabrications of hype advertising.

Eric you're pathetic, probably some 85 year old man who has nothing better to do than taunt people who know less than you.. you're one of those people who get a couple years of engineering and then think they know more than everyone put together, you make me so sick I want to vomit until I pass out.. how about passing some helpful knowledge instead of trolling and insulting people?
